Genuine Makita electric power switch (Makita part no. JM23100179) — direct replacement for select Makita slide‑compound mitre saws. This complete switch assembly restores reliable on/off control and eliminates intermittent start or cut‑out issues caused by worn contacts or a failing trigger. It’s the same switch that fits the handle/wiring assembly on Makita slide mitre saw models such as LS1018 and LS1018L, and is also listed for the LS0815F / LS0815FL family (some parts lists also show fitment to related LS10xx variants).
What’s included and key details:
- One genuine Makita JM23100179 electric on/off switch assembly, supplied as a complete unit for straightforward replacement.
- Designed to integrate with the original handle wiring and fixings on the listed mitre saw models; replaces worn internal contacts and trigger circuitry that cause no‑start or intermittent operation.
- Rugged, impact‑resistant housing and factory‑matched electrical ratings to preserve tool safety and performance when installed as specified by Makita.
Example compatible models (verify your tool’s model number before ordering): LS1018, LS1018L, LS0815F / LS0815FL (also referenced alongside some LS1017/LS10xx listings in parts diagrams).
Simple replacement note: this is the complete switch assembly — installation typically requires removing the saw’s handle cover and swapping the defective unit for the new assembly, reconnecting the original wiring and fasteners. If you’re replacing a switch because the saw won’t start or cuts out under load, this part directly addresses that failure mode.
If you need the exact fit for a particular serial/model variant, confirm the part number JM23100179 against your saw’s parts diagram or parts list for your model to ensure compatibility.
